Fortnite’s long-teased Simpsons crossover will officially begin on Saturday, Epic has confirmed. A new trailer points to an 11am ET in-game event—the servers will then go down for several hours before the Simpsons mini-season starts around 5pm ET. In the trailer the drooling aliens Kang and Kodos—who have also flown next to the Fortnite Battle…
Last month, Capcom decided to do something relatively unheard of in the fighting game community: charge people to watch the Capcom Cup Finals and Street Fighter League: World Championship online. Unsurprisingly, the pivot to pay-per-view has not gone down very well. With each ticket originally revealed to cost ¥4,000 (approximately $27/£20) separately or ¥6,000 (roughly…
C’est tout un gros malentendu! In the magazine business, the back page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”. We don’t have pages…
Launches in “Early Access” this December. Given Rockstar is currently heads down finishing Grand Theft Auto VI, it doesn’t seem likely that we’re going to get a follow-up to the publisher’s 2006 school-based action adventure title Bully anytime soon. But for those who have been looking for a brand new reason to go gallivanting around…
In 2023, research suggested that the decline in global PC shipments was so bad that it was “unparalleled in the industry’s recorded history.” Fast forward two years, and things are far rosier, with one analyst stating that in the past three months, shipments were up 9.4% compared to 2024. Now, another market research firm has…
As are the rules with a battle royale, only one player (or group) of 100 can be crowned the victor. Naturally, your odds of success are therefore very low. But, just like Warzone, you can up your odds in the Battlefield 6 Redsec battle royale by using custom loadouts. You will, however, have to put…
Fortnite’s Chapter 6 final flourish appears to be a Simpsons mini season with an entirely standalone Springfield-themed map. Leaks hint at what’s coming: the key art shows new skins and at least two of the weapons—the classic assault rifle, aka the SCAR, and the Thunder shotgun—while the full leaked map shows iconic Simpsons locations. But…
I feel like we’re in an era of trying desperately to cut cords and have things look as neat and tidy as possible. Unfortunately, the tech isn’t quite there yet to make such things possible—at least not for cheap. We’re past the ‘tangled heap of cables’ stage, but we’re not quite at the ‘cables? What…
Back when Nivida’s RTX 4090 mobile GPU was the latest hotness for laptops, we took the view that it didn’t actually make sense compared to the cheaper RTX 4080. That’s because it was often constrained by the limited power budget of mobile form factors. Well, it turns out the laptop RTX 4090 is quite the…
Did you know digital games store Fanatical is doing comic and book bundles these days? They’re worth keeping an eye on—this month, for example, they’ve done a whole series of really excellent value horror comics deals that I’ve enjoyed taking advantage of. But to keep this on the topic of games, there’s one bundle in…
